‘Twas the day before Thanksgiving
1. There is a Christmas tree in the lobby of the building I work in, a garland over the entrance, a large poinsettia next to the desk in the lobby, and a large nutcracker soldier next to the back entrance. It’s all corporately festive, like I’ve seen from the streets and on TV but never [...]
Tuesday Randomness
1. I’m going to South Carolina for Christmas. I’m so excited!
2. I have a large window in my office, taking up most of one wall. It lets in a lot of light, so I generally leave my light off in my office. Luckily my officemate already had the light off when I moved in, so [...]
The snails are attacking!
This wee little snail, about the size of my thumbnail, is chillin’ just outside my door. He’s cute.

World Not Ended Yet

The End of the World
Happy Election Day! In celebration of this day, I’m going to, well… you know, vote.
Thank goodness this election season is almost over. My annoyance with humanity has grown not quite exponentially, and my disdain for the two main presidential candidates has soared. I originally liked Obama, but as the months passed and I learned more [...]
Salamanders are creepy creatures
A friend reminded me about the National Aquarium here in DC, so I went there this afternoon. It’s small – it’s in the basement of the Commerce building – but it’s not a bad way to spend an hour or so if you’re into fish, frogs, salamanders, and that sort of thing. Salamanders kind of [...]
